Blank pages Empty spaces All there’s left to do is wait Until the dawn of a new day A new, less painful day Blank spaces Tear-stained faces Waiting, waiting, always waiting Maybe we can all escape one day Blackened eyes and muffled cries So many that our ears are mute Fake smiles and flat out lies Grief Utter grief
